This is the most convenient station for visiting the Lion monu- ment and battletlekl. The best time to visit the Field is late afternoon in summer, thus one escapes the swarm of guides and relic vendors, who make the place hideous with their cries early in the day. The Lion monument is oast from captured French cannon and presents an appearance of most imposing grand- eur, 'mounted as it is on a vast artific- ial hill. The British lion, with his paw upon the world, watching eternally over the graves of the,,English dead, a true symbol of British greatness and the everlasting vigilence of the World Empire! Looking clown over the smiling plains and peaceful farming country it is fairly impossible to realize that here WS enacte'd the great drarrer of Eng- lish valor and Napoleonic strategy. Had the "Man of Destiny" won, what would have been the outcome for Eng- land ? Who shall say? Mad was the fury of the French onslaught, but the British regiments stood unflinchingly. Nothing, not even the never surrend- ering "Vieille Garde" (old guard) itself could break the British squares. Hour after hour those "thip red lines" with- stood the wearying, heart. breaking shock of the enemy's cavalry. T he artil- lery thundered in vain,inen were mow- ed down by thousands, but nothing could shakethe courage of Wellington's trout's. Napolean's final command, "all is lost, save yonrselves if you can" was his bitter acknowledgement of the crushing defeat. And so the battle becarue a rout. Waterloo became his- tory and only the great lion rernitias to call back that awful day. At the foot of the monument is Mrs: Brawn's Museum Hotel. Here is a genuine collection of Waterloo relics. Tattered uniforms, bullet piercedskulls and various arms are here exhibited. Most pathetie of all is the newspaper containing Wellington's despatch to the government. He says that bwing to lack of returns he cannot give the complete list of English dead. But he gives the names of killed and wounded officers as far as had been. identified.. Then follows long columns of names. They mean so little to us but the re- sult must have been heart rending in Great Britain on that terrible June day. But the steanl train is waiting and we must return to Brussels. Jo. DIXON ST'ACKMAN. • Biddulph Dnasrne—Not alone in this tovenship but all over the country will it be learn- ed with deep regret of the death of one of our pioneers in the person of Mr. William M. Breen, who passed away on Thursday, at the home of his broth- er, Thomas, Lot. 8, S.L.R. Deceased who was in his 75th year, had been ail- ing for some time,but his death was unlooked for. When quite young he came to this country, and being strong and of a robust nature did his share in clearing the forest and cultivating the land. His high sense of integrity and moral rectitude won him the confi- dence and respect of his fellows, while his many noble qualities of head and heart made him a pleasant companion and a true warm friend. The funeral on Saturday to St. Patrick's church cemetery was a surpassingly popular tribute of reverence and synapathy. erreenway Master Arthur Brophy, after a week's visit with his aunt, Mrs. Diens, returned to his home in Shipka Sun- day, accompanied by his cousin Gor- don Ulens.—Rev.

Brophy is visiting friends in Exeter, Wingham and Sta.ffa. Mise M. M. Wilson ac- companied her as far as Exeter. Fullarton The Rev, R. W. Knowles, of the Ful- lerton circuit had not uttered many sentences of the opening prayer on Sunday week at the Methodist church here, before he had impressed every person in the congregation as to his power in preaching, and as he advanc- ed in the discourse rapt attention and admiration were given to each word as it floated from the young speaker's lips. Rev. Knowles greatly pleased his congregation. His kindly eye and broad intellectual forehead are un- mistakable evidence of the man's peat ability as a rising Methodist divine. His deep voice, his natural gestures, his impassioned delivery, all unite to make him a favorite preacher wherever he may be. His sermons show pro- found knowledge of the scriptures and a wide acquaintance with literature. That his labors here may be crowned with success is the wish of his many friends.—Mr. Fowler, who was to come to Fullerton, has resigned from the ministry,and Mr. Morley Madden, a i student, s taking his place 'Until col- lege opens.—Rev.

A few days ego while engaged cutting wood with a circular saw his left band carne in contact with the saw, which so badly lacerated a finger and thumb that Dr. Mitchell found it necessary to use several stitches to bring the flesh together. Hay DEans.—Never hate the death of a young person so greatly affected the people of this township as the one which occurred on Monday of last week. We refer to Mr. Edgar Smith, eldest son of Mr. Daniel Smith, who passed away at his father's residence at the age 02 24 years. •From a purely human paint of view, it is a task to reflect ripen the demise of those we cherish and esteem. Sad, very sad, indeed is the thought that it good and faithful son has been taken trona a family, where so many hearts made him the centre of their love, but our thoughts must rise above the grave, must ascend to that happy and eternal resting Place. Deceased had been a sufferer from limb trouble for about a month, but his death was not in the least expected. The remains were ta- ken to New Hamburg on Wednesday, for burial. To the bereaved father and three brotherswe extend our deep sympathy. Kirktou DEATH. —The weary watching and assiduous care so much in evidence of late around the couch of sickness at the home of Mr. Alfred Miller, ceased to be necessary after Monday evening, July llth, and another new mound in the Kirkton cemetery conveys its sad lesson of mankind's inevitable destiny. Ever since William Miller was stricken with that insidious disease, consump- tion, but faint hopes were entertained of his recovery, and needless to say, death came as a blessed relief to the life worn sufferer in his 32nd year. About two years ago he went West and remained till last October when he as obliged to return home owing to ill health and since then he has gradu- ally wasted away, although his death was uulooked for. On the Saturday previous to his death he drove over to St. Marys and spent a few hours in town. On Sunday he was up around and spent a portion of the day in the garden, conversing with his young friends, but on Monday he was taken suddenly worse and passed away in the evening. He was a very promis- ing young man; of kindly disposition and by straightforwardness won a host of friends, who to -day feel their loss keenly. That he was honored and be- loved was evidenced by the large num- ber who attended the funeral on Wed- nesday. To the sorrowing ones we extend the hand of sympathy. Ailsa Craig Mr. D.

Varna DEPARTED. —It iS our sad dlity to chronicle the death of an esteemed resident in the person of Jean McCly- mont, beloved wife of John McAsh, which sad event came as it shock to her many friends on Saturday, July 9. The deceased was a friend to all who knew her, she being a generous, lov- ing, kind and very good neighbor. Her sufferings for months were borne with Christian fortitude; Mrs. McAsh had been troubled with her heart for some tinie, and a few days before her death she had paralysis of the brain. All that loving hands could do was done, but God willed it otherwise and to His will she was fully_resigned, Deceased carne here from Montreal in the year 1845 and has, therefore, been a resident of this locality for 58 years and is just- ly entitled to have her name register- ed among the honored pioneers. She was in the highest sense of the term a good woman and her memory will be long and lovingly cherished by all who ehjoyed her acquaintance. A hus- baud, five spas and five daughters are left to mourn the loss of a loving wife and mother. The family were all present except the youngest son, Ed- ward, who is in Manitoba.
